10 wrestlers who need a push after WrestleMania

#3 Oney Lorcan

One of the hardest hitters in NXT, Oney Lorcan has recently been upping his stock slowly but surely on the brand. He isn’t much of a player and probably won’t be, but that’s okay. He should be heading up to the main roster and 205 Live after WrestleMania.

With the new focus of 205 Live being competition more akin to the Cruiserweight Classic, Oney Lorcan is the perfect fit. He has had one or two matches on the program in the past in solid losing efforts but was only around to make other guys look good. Now it’s his turn to look good. Guys like Roderick Strong, Hideo Itami, Drew Gulak, and Jack Gallagher are similar in style, using smashmouth brutality and sudden quickness to take out their opponents. Between guys similar in style and all of the high-flyers on 205 Live, Oney is the kind of guy who fits into the picture beautifully. He would be a great asset to the brand, and it is his best shot at being successful in WWE in my opinion. I don’t think there’s a place for him in NXT, but the cruiserweight division should welcome him with open arms.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
